Challenge Accepted

March 2, 2011

You know why I love you guys? Because I put something out there that I consider challenging and you all have my back and are the greatest support. Your comments never cease to make me smile, earning you an extra special thank you dance with a weird kissy face:

Alright – I think I’ve been inspired or brainwashed or both. I’m thinking about registering for a 5k on May 1 – the Rock-n-River. That should be enough time to get it together, right? I mean seriously – I DO NOT RUN. So I’m a little nervous about this. But. . . I want to give it a shot. My race strategy: run and not die. Any other advice is welcome.

Good Luck with the 5k! That’s awesome that you are taking on that challenge! I’m doing an almost 4 miler St Pat’s Day Dash in Seattle on March 13th, in a green tuxedo t-shirt because i’m just classy like that haha.

Good luck!! I think it’s awesome that you signed up for one! I was convinced I hated 5Ks for the longest time (still don’t love them). I think it happened after college – I was so sick of running that I convinced myself I was awful at short distances and needed to start training for endurance events. But then on a whim, I signed up for a 5K in December and was actually surprised by how much fun I had! I didn’t have any pressure on myself and just enjoyed it (and then ended up doing better than I thought). Plus, they feel so short – it’s kind of amazing!
